SPESC 2025 Conference
Tarleton State University - Fort Worth, Texas | October 10 - October 12, 2025
Saddle up for three days of photography, education, and community at Bigger & Better—the 2025 SPE South Central Conference! Hosted at Tarleton State University's Fort Worth campus, this year's gathering brings together artists, educators, and students for a weekend of inspiration, connection, and celebration.
Alongside our keynote by the legendary Dan Winters and recognition of our Honored Educator Steve Goff, the program features artist talks, workshops, student presentations, and portfolio reviews for both students and professionals that highlight the diverse voices shaping photography today. From zine-making to documentary practice, from experimental landscapes to deeply personal narratives, attendees will experience a wide range of approaches and conversations.
Each day will begin with activities designed to bring our community together—starting with a portfolio walkthrough on Friday and a playful "speed-friending" session on Saturday. Throughout the weekend, you'll also have opportunities to connect through digital exhibitions, student and member presentations, and our Saturday night celebration at Billy Bob's Texas. Sunday excursions will take us beyond the conference walls to explore the culture and community of Fort Worth together.
We can't wait to welcome you to Fort Worth this fall for a conference that truly lives up to its name: Bigger & Better. Want to support the event? Get involved as a volunteer, reviewer, or donor—or contribute to our raffle! (See details below.)
